Hi Tiffany,
Your solution is a good one assuming it is the mute checkbox being
checked.
In my case, the wave volume goes to 0%. I can still used fixed keystroke
sequences but its tricky.
There used to be a program called quick mix or something like that would
let
you restore your volume levels to their original settings. I do not have
the
exact name.

I don't know of a volume up/down or mute keystroke, but occasionally when
pushing my keyboard into it's drawer the mute button is pushed. Besides
multi-media keyboards, sometimes the monitor has mute buttons as well, so
I
would see if anything is accidentally hitting either of those.
Otherwise I get around waiting for sighted assistance by making a hot key
which goes directly into volume control. That way all you have to know is
to
push the keystroke you assign, and tab twice, followed by space to uncheck
it. all the other checkboxes are every third push of tab.

Subject: [j-say list] accidental sound shut off
Hello all,
for the last few weeks, my sound has abruptly cut off, three times. Not
just jaws speaking, but all sound including chimes etc. even when the
computer is rebooted, which does not resolve the problem.
I have had to ask someone fully sighted to locate an icon on my taskbar to
un mute the sound with a mouse.
Big question-is there a combination of key strokes that I accidentally
used
by mistake to mute the sound?
I have been using JSay6 and Dragon (2008 releases) and this is happened
only
a few times in a year or more but lately three times in two weeks.
I rarely use the control keys or tab keys because I am clumsy using them,
and mostly use voice commands but now I am fearful of touching the
keyboard
and accidentally shutting off the sound again.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks,Ariane
